Description:

Competency Area: Curriculum & Instruction

Working from the foundation of your own curriculum design methods, processes and implementation, we will explore Educating for Sustainability through curriculum design. We will begin with a review of principles of curriculum design, focusing on learning cycles and systems thinking. We will study and critique curriculum materials in terms of EFS, and you will learn how to use EFS criteria to develop and evaluate your curricula. With attention to state standards, as well as integration of the core emphases of environment, economics, and equity, you will work with others and individually to incorporate EFS into curriculum materials as you plan curricula for implementation in your own schools.
